The Apex Legends Mobile download APK was recently made available for all in India and a handful of other regions. Respawn has launched the title for users who love to play the game on the go. The Apex Legends Mobile performed surprisingly well on the majority of mobile phones out there, including the affordable Android devices. While the game manages to capture the fun and engaging shooter experience of Apex Legends, it’s yet to get all the legends, maps, and modes from the PC and console versions. That said, the Apex Legends Mobile is a fun battle royal game.
Can the Apex Mobile Legends, which reportedly became the most downloaded game in 60 countries, including India, soon after the launch, give BGMI aka Battlegrounds Mobile India a run for its money? Read on to find out:

Apex Legends Mobile vs BGMI: Compatibility
Apex Legends Mobile requires a device with Android 6.0 or above with at least 2GB RAM. On iOS, iPhone 6S or later with 4GB storage space will be able to run Apex Legends Mobile. That being said, the title seems to have performance issues on some Android devices right now.
Meanwhile, BGMI needs a device with Android 5.1.1 or higher with at least 2GB RAM, or an iPhone with iOS 9.0 or above. BGMI players have also complained about performance issues on low-end phones and have been demanding BGMI Lite for several months.
Apex Legends Mobile vs BGMI: Download size
After downloading the games and all the required assets, the total size of Apex Legends Mobile comes to 4.28GB and that of BGMI is 3.32GB. Apex Legends Mobile clearly requires a larger download and more space compared to BGMI, but the difference between them isn’t really huge.

Apex Legends Mobile vs BGMI: Graphics
In terms of graphics, both Apex Legends Mobile and BGMI feel on par with each other. Both games let you play at Ultra HD settings with a high refresh rate. However, low-end smartphones may have performance issues at higher graphics settings, especially in Apex Legends Mobile. While playing Apex Legends Mobile on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, the game lagged quite a bit in pretty much every battle royale match. Hopefully, these issues will be fixed soon, allowing players to play Apex Legends Mobile at better graphics settings.
Apex Legends Mobile vs BGMI: Gameplay
Although both Apex Legends Mobile and BGMI are mobile battle royale games, the gameplay experience is extremely different.
Apex Legends Mobile gameplay
Apex Legends Mobile is a hero shooter where you pick a character with unique tactical abilities from an expanding roster. The great gunplay and fast-paced movement make the game really exciting and it rewards players with new characters and perks to unlock. Unlike the PC and console versions of the game, Apex Legends Mobile has a perks system that lets you upgrade the existing abilities of each character.
BGMI gameplay
BGMI is the rebranded version of PUBG Mobile, which was introduced several months after PUBG Mobile was banned in India. BGMI offers the hardcore PUBG Mobile shooter experience and it has a huge player base. BGMI has a much more grounded experience when it comes to gunplay. There aren’t any abilities to assist you in gunfights, which means you rely completely on your shooting skills and positioning on the map.
